The Strategic Foresight 2050 Toolkit provides information on programming a strategic foresight initiative as well as guidance for leveraging the research products, workshop materials and approaches used at FEMA.
Product Types
The Toolkit is divided into two product types that align with FEMA’s phased approach to Strategic Foresight.
Scanning
FEMA engaged in environmental scanning to identify, analyze, and catalog the drivers and signals of change shaping the future of emergency management. FEMA used this Drivers & Signals Library to develop Current Trend Papers that explore the intersection of key issues.
